Culpeper] A. The right Worshipful, the Col∣ledg of Physitians, having found a Medicine called by this name in the Augustane Dispensatory, did as well as they could to alter it a little, that so they might make fools beleev it was their own. It helps salt sharp and thin distillations upon the Lungues; it allaies the fury of such sharp humors which occasion both roughness of the throat, want of sleep, and feavers; It is excellent for such as are troubled with Pleuresies to take now and then a little of it.
